Wittgenstein, Ludwig Ludwig Wittgenstein is one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century, and regarded by some as the most important since Immanuel Kant. His early work was influenced by that of Arthur Schopenhauer and, especially, by his teacher Bertrand Russell and by Gottlob Frege, who became something of a friend. This work culminated in the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, the only philosophy book that Wittgenstein published during his lifetime. It claimed to solve all the major problems of philosophy and was held in especially high esteem by the anti-metaphysical logical positivists. The Tractatus is based on the idea that philosophical problems arise from misunderstandings of the logic of language, and it tries to show what this logic is. Table of Contents 1.

Todo aquello que es erótico es necesariamente pornográfico por añadidura y en estos temas, se cree, es mucho más importante distinguir entre lo erótico y lo obsceno.

Giant Glowing Sculpture Made From Crushed PET Bottles Rises at the Venice Architecture Bienniale A freestanding sculpture made from thousands of salvaged PET bottles popped up at the Venice Architecture Biennale. Created by Rodrigo Garcia and Maciej Siuda, this repurposed public art installation titled Devebere represents the massive amounts of waste we create. Garcia and Siuda created Devebere after winning the Gau:di student competition for sustainable architecture. The temporary sculpture provided a free space for recreation and relaxation—and created some cool shadows—during the city’s Biennale. The sculpture was made by first cleaning the outside of the bottles, then taking the label and top off, and sucking the air out of them, which makes them much stronger. + Devebere Photo © Devebere Via Experimenta
Furniture Colombo is the most recent furniture project presented to us via e-mail by company WEWOOD–Portuguese Joinery. The unconventional egg-inspired table in solid oak was designed with elegance and irreverence, and produced with artisanal know-how. Colombo is a piece which combines an innovative look with traditional techniques of joinery. We see rounded design lines all around, in organic forms and man-made designs. Inspired by the posture used in horseback riding, Christian Sjöström has designed Camou, an everyday-use chair emphasizing on movement, variation and control of the body.

Champagne Perrier-Jouët Loopcamp: Giant Musical Recycled Paper Cylinders Rise From The Dusty Desert Plain at Burning Man The desert extravaganza Burning Man started in 1986 as a small gathering of free-thinking artists, but it has since evolved into a storied pilgrimage for creatives that attracts about 50,000 people each year. In 2012, Stéphane Malka of Malka Architecture took to the flat and dusty scene of Black Rock City in Nevada with Loopcamp - an installation comprised of giant recycled paper cylinders of different widths and heights that serve two important functions. Hit the jump for the "deets." Black Rock City is carefully organized in a giant semi-circle with grid rows that all face the open desert, and the scene of the final burning event. Malka Architecture installed their recycled cylinders, which look like giant paper towel cartons, in an open space amid the geodesic domes and art cars and half-naked participants. Loopcamp’s was specifically oriented in a semi circle that faces directly into oncoming winds in order to take advantage of wind pressure to create a giant wind chime.

What can we learn from this photo? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. And yeah, I still almost always wear black.
